Prayer Please

Dear Prayer Warriors, I am asking for prayer tonight for our dear precious friend Lanie. She turned 3 in March, has Medulloblastoma like Lucy and has had a tough battle since her diagnosis. Tonight I learned that she has a UTI that lead to bacterial meningitis and will have to have a new shunt. On top of this her chemo will be delayed. My heart is breaking for this family. I plead with you tonight to pray for our dear friends. We have come to know and love this family so deeply. They are far away from home and long to be back. There is nothing I can do for them except pray and ask you to join me.

There is a book that was written by someone in our area who battled cancer titled, 'To Be the Hands of God.' I believe that is what happens when we pray. Prayers and blessings of healing for Lanie and Lucy!!!

Dear Lord, I kneel before you and petition for a sweet baby girl named Lanie. Dear God, please touch, heal and restore this baby girl's body. We acknowledge that you are all knowing and the Master Physician. We know that Lanie is Your child and you know her every fear and her every hurt. Bring about a sense of calm to her parents as they navigate thru this very hard journey. Comfort them, embrace them, and Lord, reveal Your plans for precious Lanie. Dear God, I also ask that you keep The Krull family as well as all the families that are "crying out to You". Please Lord, keep them in Your care as well. We plead, we ask....Dear Lord...we pray. Amen.

praying for comfort and strength.. i cannot tell you how much i admire the strength of these families facing illness. I pray everyday for Lucy.. tonight I will make sure to add this precious child to my prayers. In the midst of all this pain there will be good! Godspeed!

Kate,You have no idea who I am. My daughter met Kellan Good while visiting St.Jude with the UCA Cheerleaders. Katie has become very fond of Kellan. Katie is a UT cheerleader, and Kellan sang Rocky Top to her. Katie and I read her blog and pray daily. Since then, Sarah Good posted one night about Lucy and your blog's web site. We have been following it and praying faithfully for Lucy and your entire family since then. I can't tell you how I hurt for you all. I can't begin to imagine what you go through in a day. Please know that you have prayer warriors in Lexington, KY and Knoxville, TN. We will definitely pray for Lanie also and her family.
